Os Gemeos, “The Twins” (Otavio and Gustavo Pandolfo) have been holding down Sao Paulo for over 15 years. Their creative medium spans every form of graffiti, street art, and mural. Drawing inspiration from their own family and Brazilian heritage, Os Gemeos work takes you a world of color and vivid imagination. Displaying a true Brazilian culture, the twins amaze spectators with portraits of their family, animals, boats, and music. To the slums of Sao Paulo’s homeless, crippled and forgotten. Also sticking it to the man, their political images of looters, terrorists, criminals and politicians play as the revolutionary cry from the streets.

Earlier this year OS Gemeos presented their largest gallery exhibition to date out in New York. Called Too Far Too Close, the show fills the gallery with the dreams and fantasies of Brazil: street kids, family portraits with mermaids, bathing girls, street musicians, favelas, flying animals, clowns and the reoccurring theme of twinship.
